Dead Waiter with special guests Pants Exploder and Shearing
About This Event
Dead Waiter leads a bill at Mercury Lounge alongside special guests Pants Exploder and Shearing. Dead Waiter brings a working-band focus on momentum and tight arrangements honed on NYC club bills; Pants Exploder offers direct, slightly edgy song forms from a band still building its local footprint, while Shearing contributes loose, free-form sets shaped by collaborations in art-adjacent contexts.
